Default Grade

Grade Anson, Gehrig, and probably Matty. There are many reprints/fakes of these cards out there - especially Anson and Gehrig. Buyers value some type of third party validation. Even poor, these two command over $1000.

I would agree to grade those three. The Gehrig and the Anson in particular both look washed out, so if you get them graded then buyers can have more assurance they are authentic.

I would grade the Anson and the Gehrig. You might be able to get a 2 on that Anson. The other cards are probably all 1s and not really worth grading, although as expressed above, the Matty might make a buyer more confident to know that it's authentic, but I don't think it adds any value, just a wider pool of buyers (which you probably don't need).

Also, I would try to find out if the glue on the back of the Gehrig is water soluble or not. If it is, that might just come right off without damaging the card simply by soaking it in water. However, I suspect it might not be as the card itself looks a bit washed out and faded like someone already tried to soak it in some sort of chemical bath or something. I don't know. But if the fading is just from the sun /light exposure and it hasn't ever been soaked in water, then it's worth a try on my opinion, because if that glue dissolves, then you'd have a really nice Gehrig. Either way though, the Gehrig is worth grading.
